That's a bit on the nose for today.

IT'S EDUCATIONAL.

Okay, I guess. I'm finding the allegations to be hard to validate. Sources would be appreciated.
IDK how we expect anyone to do journalism if we can't trust the media conglomerates who pay them or the people who monetize their own work.

IDK. She was *accused* of lying, and as I recall showed receipts. Do you have evidence that the invasions were fake?
And aside from monetizing her online presence via podcasts (oh noes) I have a hard time calling her a grifter.
Being smeared by the GOP shouldn't be disqualifying, IMO.

I wouldn't call her that. As far as I can tell, her biggest sin is being a cheerleader for Merrick Garland.

Hi and welcome! Be sure to follow tons of people. We don't have an algorithm over here to push material into your feed. Lots of helpful people post starter packs so you can follow a bunch of similar accounts all at once.

Apparently we're over the state GOP but we're still okay with Trump. WTH?

God, I hope you're wrong about #2. I teach in NC.

Okay. I think I understand you.
Unrelated to anything else, it's really disorienting when you change your handle and PFP in the middle of a thread.

Well, okay. Would you describe Selma as a bunch of people who got beat up by cops and then the government killed them with syphilis?

I've always understood that the Stonewall riots were the beginning of the gay rights movement in the U.S. Am I wrong about that?

But it was an important turning point in the human rights story of our country.

That would be weird, considering she's also referencing Seneca Falls and Selma.

I'm a HS science teacher. I once had a colleague who refused to teach about geologic history or dinosaurs, because they believed the Earth was only 6000 years old.

Okay, dumb question. How do I find the starter packs? When I look in settings it just wants me to make my own, so unless I stumble across someone posting about theirs I have no idea how to search for them.

I don't think Hanlon's razor is sufficient here. It's implausible that Musk is unaware of how nonprofits work.

I find your "why to read this" posts surprisingly effective at convincing me to click through to your articles. IDK if you're seeing a lot of traffic from it, but I appreciate the extra context.

That's...not horrible. I mean, AI is horrible, and ridiculously wasteful, but if they can safely reopen the plant it's not as bad as using other sources so I guess I'm okay with this.

Yep. Because fascists don't need people to believe their lies. They only need their followers to play along while they enact the policies their lies justify.

I just spent a considerable amount of brainpower trying to figure out how to relate this post to the development of the Christian canon.

I'm so sorry. Be sure to take it very easy during recovery.

It's not that we're uncivil. It's that you have a nasty disposition and your opinions are trash.

That's a little bit ironic, don't ya think?

Over Sea, Under Stone, by Susan Cooper.
Any of McCaffrey's Pern books, but the Harper Hall trilogy is very YA.

I realized a while back that running a motor on a battery was the easy part. Building a good car is the hard part - and that's when I knew I was never buying a Tesla.

As someone who teaches in NC, you might be slandering Ms. DeVos.

Solid take. Just like every other fascist, his lies tell us *what would need to be true* to justify his position.

I need a parody legal filing that relies "upon imagination and capacity to suspend disbelief."

That was less dumb than I was afraid of, considering I grew up looking at the Snowy Mountain range outside my windows.

I tried bussing to work, but it turned a 40 min. commute into 2+ hours, using 2 different bus lines and I still needed to drive 10 miles to get to my bus stop.

Clearly Congress needs to cap the per accident liability of trucking companies that use driverless trucks. It's obviously unfair for them to be liable if they didn't even hire the driver. /s
